Aug 7, 2013 at 23:59 comment added dmckee --- ex-moderator kitten Be aware that moderation culture varies a bit from site to site. On the core sites the moderators have to handle lots of exceptions every day, and it simply isn't reasonable to expect a lot of information from them on every one. On smaller sites moderators may be inclined to explain them explain themselves more often.

Aug 7, 2013 at 19:25 comment added BoltClock's a Unicorn Mod @Shog9: Don't worry, I won't tell anyone you're just taking the rap for that other guy.
Aug 7, 2013 at 19:21 comment added Shog9 Mod I'm deleting a crapload of comments here because they're getting noisy and mostly just repeat things contained in answers... But also for the irony. Mostly for the irony.

Aug 7, 2013 at 18:55 comment added Mike Pennington @kevin628, you have two kinds of mods... SE employees and community mods (non-SE employees). We are all accountable to the community, and if you don't like something a mod has done, then post a (polite) question on MSO asking for clarification (much like you already did). SE employees and the rest of the community hold us accountable.

Aug 7, 2013 at 18:48 comment added Servy Most moderation action on the site is not performed by moderators, they're performed by the community. Community members vote to close questions, and can flag comments for deletion. Mods can unilaterally do either action, whereas community members can't, but the majority of most of those actions aren't the result of mods doing things.
